The Interpersonal Process Group offers a collaborative and safe environment for adults to gain a better understanding of themselves and others. Emphasizing here-and-now relationships, members work to develop not only improved relationships within the group, but also in the outside world. The group aims to help build a stronger sense of self and resolve obstacles through recognizing, experiencing, and sharing of emotions. Requirements: Those aged 18+ interested in improving interpersonal relationships and/or trying new ways of relating to others. Membership is determined after intake and consultation sessions.

We explore our struggles with a deep understanding of ourselves, and give women the space to voice these experiences. We will also provide psychoeducation on trauma/racial trauma and its effects on our minds and bodies, and provide skills or activities such as mindfulness that help us heal. Above all, the main goal is essentially to promote strength and connection for women of color in a time where this connection and community is vital, and especially needed.

The Grief and Mourning group at The Psychological Center at City College is a space for those looking to process current or past experiences of loss or grief in their life. Sessions will aim to facilitate individual and group processing around the experience of mourning and other existential questions activated by the challenges of loss.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) integrates cognitive behavior therapy with teachings in mindfulness and acceptance. Developed by Dr. Marsha Linehan, DBT helps us address difficulties with regulating emotions, impulse control, assertiveness, and relationships. Together patients learn and practice skills that help identify and manage emotions, so that the person feels empowered to tolerate life events and to navigate interactions with others.

This group aims to provide a processing space for queer students who face the challenges of navigating non-centered queer identities or experiences (i.e. invisibility or minimization). Inspired by a parts work approach also known as Internal Family Systems, we will explore together how to bring all of who we are to the table and learn to embrace our whole selves. In this space, we will work in community to find the spaces where all of us can exist and thrive. This group requires members to be 18+, be queer-identifying (regardless of out status), and undergo our intake process prior to joining. 

The Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for ADHD (CBT-ADHD) group aims to provide a space for college students with ADHD to come together and learn strategies to improve planning, organization, and time management – all skills that promote success in college. In addition, the group focuses on learning skills specific to academic tasks, such as active reading and writing organization, as well as identifying and challenging unhelpful thought patterns that can increase anxiety and lower mood.  The group setting allows students to gain support from other students who share similar experiences, which can help to counteract the loneliness and isolation that college students with ADHD can experience. 

The Men of Color Interpersonal Process Group is for men of color who feel unseen, misunderstood, and who grapple with questions of belonging. The group offers support from others who share similar experiences shaped by racism, cultural pressures, and the weight of navigating the world as a man of color. This shared understanding helps to counteract feelings of loneliness and isolation. Members gain a deeper understanding of themselves and others within the context of their racial and gendered identities. By emphasizing arising emotions and here-and-now relationships, members work to develop not only stronger connections within the group, but also in the greater community. This group requires members to be 18+ and undergo an intake process prior to joining.
